I have a 91 Honda civic si, and last week my alternator died on me due to my stereo. I got Rockford power 10 and a Rockford t600-2 both are about 600 watts. What would be the best solution to my problem for it not to happen again?

 

Was it the orginal alternator?

It probably wasn't the stereo if it was

 

or maybe when you installed the goodies you didnt unplug the battery and a spark caused the alternator to fry up??

 

1 farad cap and better fuses

 

You have some odd ideas about how electricity works..

 

You need a high output alternator. That stock one only puts out 40 or 60 amps, I think.

 

its happened to me...and im just makin suggestions

 

yeah it was the original, what could it have been?

 

i got a new alternator from brownings

 

It probably wasn't the stereo that caused the alternator to go out. It could be possible that it was old and worn out, and the demand caused it to over work itself, but it still doesn't sound right. I would suggest a better battery (such as a recombination battery(gel batteries like Optima red tops)) and a capacitor so when the big bass hits, it doesn't drain the battery as much. Also make sure you got an in-line fuse for your B+ wire coming off the battery, just to be safe.
